Chapter 459: The Fall of the "Steel Behemoth"

Star-Lord, Drax, and Groot followed Elena and her Ego warriors on the desolate red land, their heavy steps trampling on the thick dust, and the dust raised against the strange atmosphere of the planet. There were thin clouds floating in the sky, as if a storm was about to come at any time, and in the distance, the Umbrella warships were vaguely visible, flashing a cold metallic luster, like the messenger of death.

"Hey, Elena, are you sure that we are really facing Umbrella? Are these guys really as scary as you said?" Star-Lord gripped the weapon in his hand tightly, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness.

Without looking back, Elena responded coldly: "They are much more dangerous than you think. Umbrella will not easily let go of anyone who resists them. Selton and other captured compatriots are now facing a life-and-death situation. If you want to leave this planet alive, don't take it lightly."

Drax looked determined, holding his double-edged axe, and said with full of fighting spirit: "Danger? That's exactly the enemy I'm looking for! I will chop off their heads and enjoy this battle!"

Groot walked silently beside Star-Lord, occasionally whispering, "I am Groot." Although he was innocent and cute, there was a firm light shining in his little eyes, as if he was ready to meet all challenges.

Elena led everyone to an abandoned base. The Umbrella flag fluttered gently in the breeze, cold and arrogant. Star-Lord's eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment, and his heartbeat accelerated: "Hey, guys, it looks like we're going to be in trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, the searchlights around the base suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the surroundings as bright as day. Then, a group of Umbrella soldiers wearing black armor poured out of the gate of the base, their weapons were loaded and flashing deadly red lights.

"Looks like we have guests." Star-Lord smiled casually, then picked up his iconic double guns, made a classic gunman pose, his eyes full of challenge.

Elena gave the order without hesitation: "Prepare for battle! Rescue our compatriots!"

The Umbrella soldiers quickly deployed their formations, and the laser guns in their hands emitted rapid hissing sounds, and several red energy beams quickly shot towards them. Star-Lord nimbly rolled behind a boulder, and several laser bullets passed behind him, hitting the ground and splashing a cloud of dust. He immediately counterattacked with his two guns, and the bullets accurately shot at the soldiers in front, disrupting the opponent's rhythm.

"Groot, cover me!" Star-Lord shouted, and Groot immediately jumped forward, stretching out countless vine-like branches, flexibly spreading them on the ground to form a natural barrier. Bullets and laser beams hit the branches, making a "buzzing" vibration sound, but they could not penetrate Groot's defense.

Drax completely ignored the cover and rushed towards the camp of the Umbrella soldiers with a double-edged axe in hand, his muscles as tight as steel. He roared and swung the axe, and the huge force chopped a soldier in half with his gun, blood sprayed in the air, the scene was extremely tragic.

"Come on! Let me feel your fear!" Drax roared, rushing towards more soldiers. His fighting style was as wild as ever, and every blow was filled with endless violence.

"Wow, Drax, you're such a lunatic." Star-Lord couldn't help but sigh as he watched his crazy actions. At the same time, he seized the opportunity to aim at a soldier who was trying to outflank him and killed him cleanly.

Fires burst out, lasers and bullets intertwined in the air into a symphony of death. Elena led her warriors into battle. Although their bows and ancient weapons seemed primitive, they were still able to deal a fatal blow to the Umbrella soldiers with their precise operation. Each arrow flew through the air at high speed and shot at the enemy's vital points.

Although the Umbrella soldiers were well-equipped, facing such a group of fearless enemies, their front line was gradually disrupted. Star-Lord, Drax, and Groot cooperated with Elena's soldiers to continuously attack the opponent's defense positions.

Suddenly, a strong beam of light fell from the sky, hitting the ground with a bang, causing a huge explosion. Star-Lord was knocked to the ground by the shock wave, and a sharp sound rang in his ears. He shook his head and barely stood up. The scene in front of him made him gasp - a huge mecha appeared on the battlefield, the black steel shell reflected the cold light, and the heavy artillery in his hand was pointed directly in their direction.

"This is not good news," Star-Lord muttered through gritted teeth, quickly ducking behind cover to avoid the heavy artillery bombardment.

"Drax! Beat that big guy!" Star-Lord shouted.

Drax fixed his eyes on the huge mecha, a crazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hahaha! Finally, there is an opponent worthy of fighting!"

Drax roared, holding the double-edged axe tightly, his face full of determination. He faced the fire of the mecha's artillery, nimbly dodging between the explosions and smoke, and charging with a firm step like a rock. The fire illuminated his naked muscles, and his eyes burned with desire and excitement for battle.

Just as the mech's cannon aimed at Drax, ready to fire a fatal blow, Drax rolled over and avoided the direct bombardment of the laser beam. Then, he leaped up, with both strength and speed, raised the axe high in both hands, and aimed at the fragile armor seams of the mech. With a deafening roar, the axe chopped down with thunderous force, and the axe blade deeply embedded in the steel shell of the mech, sparks flew. The huge mech trembled, and the mechanical parts made a painful creaking sound.

At the same time, Groot's tiny figure quickly climbed up the mech's giant legs, and the branches stretched out like vines, wrapping around the mech's joints. His movements were swift and flexible, and his roots tightened, causing the mech's legs to become stiff and slow. Although Groot's strength was small, he accurately locked the mech's key joints, limiting its ability to move.

"I am Groot!" He shouted excitedly while climbing. This simple joy made the battlefield more interesting.

Star-Lord saw that the mech's shield was weakened, and quickly jumped out from behind the cover, firing accurately with his double guns. His bullets quickly shot at the mech's weak points, and the barrage of bullets hit the shield, making a series of fierce collisions. Each bullet was accurate and deadly, gradually weakening the mech's shield energy. The mech's movements became noticeably slower, and a piercing alarm began to echo inside it.

"Everyone, don't stop, keep attacking! Don't give it a chance to fight back!" Star-Lord shouted loudly, waving his two guns and continuing to aim at the weak points of the mecha. Every bullet was fired cleanly, and his hands slid easily on the grip of the gun, like an experienced gunman.

Elena and her warriors were not to be outdone. They fired waves of deadly arrows from all directions. Each arrow pierced through the air and accurately hit the weak points of the mecha's armor, further disintegrating its defense. Elena was agile, her long hair was like black flames in the wind, her eyes were sharp, and her movements were smooth and fast.

Suddenly, the mech turned around and aimed its laser cannon at Elena, ready to deliver a fatal blow. Elena had just dodged a wave of attacks and had no time to react before the laser was about to hit her.

At this moment, Star-Lord suddenly jumped up and rolled towards Elena. His reaction was as fast as lightning. The laser cannon bombarded down in an instant, but Star-Lord had already pushed Elena away at the critical moment. The two rolled to the ground, the energy of the laser passed over their heads, and the explosion sounded behind them.

"Hey, beauty, did I just save your life?" Star-Lord laughed breathlessly, his signature confident smile still on his lips.

Elena was caught off guard by the sudden action. She was slightly stunned and looked at Star-Lord with complicated eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She stood up, put away her longbow, and said coldly: "Don't be narcissistic, I'm not that easy to kill."

Star-Lord shrugged it off and continued to tease, "Well, maybe you don't need a hero to save you, but it never hurts to be saved once in a while, right?"

Elena couldn't help rolling her eyes, but a barely perceptible smile quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

As they briefly exchanged words, the climax of the battle quietly arrived. Drax roared and rushed towards the enemy, brandishing his double-edged axe, his hands clenched, his muscles tensed like steel in the fierce battle. His eyes burned with a blazing fighting spirit, and the axe blade cut through the air, making a sharp hissing sound, and went straight to the core of the huge mecha. With his roar, the axe blade slammed into the core component of the mecha, a dazzling electric spark flew everywhere, accompanied by the sound of metal tearing.

The mech let out a violent roar at that moment, and its huge body trembled continuously under the impact of the electric current. Drax once again used all his strength to insert the axe blade deeply into the weak point of the mech's core, and the electric sparks burst out more violently. The huge mech could no longer withstand this fatal blow, and finally collapsed under the joint attack of everyone. The heavy steel wreckage flew everywhere, and the deafening explosion shook the entire battlefield. As the mech fell, flames shot up into the sky, and the dazzling flames reflected the surrounding scenes. Everyone was immersed in the shock of this victory.

The battlefield suddenly fell into a brief silence, as if time had stopped at this moment. Star-Lord stood there, looking at the fallen mecha with satisfaction. He patted his clothes, with a proud look of a hero returning, and said in a relaxed manner: "Hey, look! This is the strength of the Guardians of the Galaxy!"

His confident tone made Drax beside him couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Drax stood beside the wreckage of the mecha, his chest straight, grinning: "I am very satisfied with this battle. The enemy is strong, but I am stronger!"

At the same time, Groot jumped up excitedly, waving his arms like twigs, raising them happily to the sky, and shouted loudly: "I am Groot!"

Star-Lord heard Groot's shout, looked back at his excited look, and couldn't help laughing. "Yeah, Groot, you're great too." He said jokingly, still with a smug smile on his face.
